Hi, I am already using the Simple:Press Forum but I am not happy with it. I am thinking to make a phpBB3 integration but it seems to hard to do, so I see this forum system and taking a look is simple but usefull, so, who questions…
1. May I think to use this system for a high trafic forum ?. I mean, can I control the users, has good permissions and things like that.
2. There is a way to import from my actual forum system ?
PD. I will update to 2.6.x today or tomorrow.
Thanks,
Sounds like you have a syntax error in the secret keys or cookie path that is creating trouble for bbPress creating the cookies. Line 188 of pluggable.php (in the 0.9.0.2 release, anyway) looks like this:
setcookie($bb->authcookie, $cookie, $expire, $bb->cookiepath, $bb->cookiedomain);
Can you post your bb-config.php with as little editing as possible? There’s probably something wrong in that file.
Alternatively, check bb-config.php with the php command:
[~pimpforum ] php -l bb-config.php
No syntax errors detected in bb-config.php
That’s an L, like php -L, but lowercase, in the command.
I turn off Akismet and just use Human Test to prevent bots from registering: https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/
You just never know when a user will improperly get “bozo-ed” and you might miss their messages entirely. In fact i turn off the bozo feature too, it’s never quite worked right.
So, there will only be one forum that allows anonymous posting?
Sounds like _ck_ was looking for the same thing:

Hello..
I am using bbpress for having a forum for my bar.
Like this i need anonymus guest beeing able to post…BUT ONLY IN SINGLE DEFINED forum(s) ..at the moment a have the anonymos posting plugin running..but still they can post everywhere…somebody got i idea to fix this situation with a setup of defined restrictions or with a update of the plugin?
Thanks for both your responses. We decided to move the database to the same server. I’m now having issues with the WordPress cookies, but at least that’s a new problem!
I’m a member of a few forums that send out announcements.
Some hosts will limit the number of emails you can send at once though. Dreamhost, for instance, has a limit of 100 per hour (one of the many reasons I’ll be leaving them soon).
It would be overkill for some sites, but it would be nice to have a plugin for PHPList that would share a WordPress and/or bbPress user database; one that would allow user control of mailing list preferences in the WordPress or bbPress profile.
Based on the settings you chose, or whoever installed it on your server, there is an option to allow remote connections to the database. I’m assuming you’re using mysql for your database. The most probable cause is that either you’re running a firewall that is blocking port 3306 (default port) or you just simply don’t have remote access set up.

That is a fairly straight-forward and decent guide to setting up mysql for remote access. If you have any questions you can ask me and I’ll do my best to help!
I see you’re running WordPress 2.6.1. What version bbPress did you install? I think I asked that before but I must have missed the answer. The alpha branch of bbPress is compatible with WordPress 2.6.* but the 0.9 branch is not.
You can do it that way, but if you are getting a database connection error, there is something wrong with your database connection details.
I use one server for the database and one for the web server, so I know it will work. Sounds like you just haven’t figured out the proper connection details.
Can you connect to the database box from a linux command line?
I may be going about this the hard way, but I thought I’d see if anyone had an answer for me. I’m not a sysadmin, but I play one on tv, or at the very least, can find my way around a linux box pretty well. Here’s what I’m trying to do. I have WordPress Mu running on server a and I have bbpress installed on server b. I want to have bbpress use the user tables of the WordPress Mu db. Every time I’ve tried to do this, I’m getting a db connection error. I know I have the username and password correct. I put in the db host as http://www.servera.com. Is there something I’m missing completely? Should I just give up trying to do it this way?
By the way, I’ve tried this with .9 and no go there either. I really can’t go back to WPMU 2.5 because we have a key plugin that requires 2.6.
my site has more posts than the lower half of the listing. Why’m I not in there?

just asking… 
I’ve found another incompatibility
in how “tags” are now “terms”.
Any plugin that accesses tags directly will fail.
Old plugins can be found by searching for “->tags”
(without the quotes)
So essentially there are two “dead” tables after upgrading from 0.9 to 1.0 “bb_topicmeta” and “bb_tags”. But I wouldn’t delete them until 1.0 is final/gold.
I’ve integrated the 1.0 alpha release of BBpress together with WP2.61 successfully in 2 places now. Works great so far.
What I did: install wp in root the normal way. Then put bb files in subdirectory /forums/. Install bb. Follow instructions carefully. I also made my bb-config file writable, that prevented some errors as well.
Resolved!
Re-installed bbpress, works fine!
I can not figure out where i went wrong.. I’m using the latest 1.0 alpha release at 2.6. Everything apperas to work as expected (users exist in both systems, etc). However, the auto login is not working. I believe i followed the instructions to the “T”. Heres the stored cookie for both systems.
WordPress cookie after login:

Hello,
the “Lax user names” plugin of Sam doesn’t work in bbPress 1.0 alpha 1
1.0-alpha now includes php-mailer from WordPress.
I’ve added a plugin for 1.0-alpha to allow sending of email via an SMTP server. https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/smtp-mailer-for-bbpress/
Are you looking to make the content area at least as tall as the avatar, assuming the poster did not write a lot of text?
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/avatar-upload-plugin-and-css
With no theme editor, you need to edit the files locally then upload them, just like you uploaded the complete bbPress installation when you started. You need an FTP program or a file manager with your host (maybe there is one in the control panel.)
Since you can’t edit the files with a theme editor, you will need to edit them on your computer then upload them.
The files you want to look at are all located in /bb-templates/{theme name}/ – those files are where you will make your edits. If you can find that we can go from there.
My issue is resolved. There was an issue with the user tables not collaborating, so I put WPMU 2.6 and bbPress 1.0 Alpha in separate databases, and followed _ck_’s tutorial on install. I also used the plugin for loss of admin access. Everything now works beautifully. (so far! )

Thanks for the quick answer 
And yes… with a large amount of text, works just fine…
The forum can be found in here:
http://www.redcarpe.coresp.com/interpol/forum/
But its normal the signature dont appear? Because I thought: if the text isnt enough, the signature of the members could be the solution to this problem, since it adds more space to the post. But the signatures dont appear in every post, only in the first time the user reply in the thread… I use bbPress Signatures.
Hi everyone
So, I was modding the Kakumei theme for bbpress and everything was going just fine, but then, something I changed made this happen: ERROR IMAGE
It was supposed to be like this: CORRECT
The thing is… I wasnt changing nothing relative to the threads in the CSS, and that happened… or at least, I think I wasnt.
Somethings I changed I’ve put them back like they were, but, somehow, nothing changed…
Can someone help me?
Thank you
Edit:
Oh, one more thing, the older posts in the threads didnt changed, just the new ones I’ve made…
The reason for the loop is that it’s trying to create repeat tables in the database, either new database or the wordpress database, whichever one you chose to use. I believe this is the cause for the loop, if you go into mysql, use:
mysql -u <user> -p
and then type your password
type:
use <databasename>
then type show tables;
and then type drop table <table name with prefix bb_>
and drop each table that was a remnant of bbpress. This is the way to start a new install.
